Splice
She's not human...not entirely.
Directed by Vincenzo Natali
Produced by Copperheart Entertainment, Gaumont
A transgressive body-horror film that uses genetic engineering and a chimeric creature to explore the moral costs of playing god and the corruption of parental bonds.
Elsa and Clive, two young rebellious scientists, defy legal and ethical boundaries and forge ahead with a dangerous experiment: splicing together human and animal DNA to create a new organism. Named "Dren", the creature rapidly develops from a deformed female infant into a beautiful but dangerous winged human-chimera, who forges a bond with both of her creators - only to have that bond turn deadly.
